Building mattress circularity in Europe
We operate a fully circular mattress system across Europe, from dismantling to high-value material recovery and recycled raw materials.
Our partners
41 million mattresses in Europe
That’s how many are discarded each year. Most still end up in landfill or incineration, wasting valuable materials and generating unnecessary emissions.
We believe that no mattress should go to waste. That’s why we are building mattress circularity in Europe.
We operate high-quality recycling facilities, develop circular materials and aim to achieve the highest possible level of circularity across all material streams.
Our solutions
From extending the life of returned mattresses to recovering valuable materials from those at end of life, our solutions help businesses move towards a more circular mattress economy.
Recycling
Rejuvenation
Circular materials
Creating measurable impact
2 million mattresses
Every year, we recycle 2 million mattresses in Europe. 41 million mattresses discarded annualy, so there is more work to be done.
Recover valuable materials
We separate steel, foam, textiles, wood and other components so their value can be retained beyond the life of the original mattress.
Measurable CO2 reduction
In most countries, we provide LCA’s containing exact measures of CO2 reduction per recycled mattress.
European leader
We currently have 10 operational location, servicing five European countries in mattress recycling and rejuvenation.
Why it matters
The EU is tightening regulations on waste management and recycled content. By working with RetourMat Group, stakeholders ensure compliance with future legislation, while contributing to measurable climate impact.
In traditional waste chains, the end destination is often unclear. We provide full visibility on where materials go ,and how they add value in new products. We actively contribute to European policy and innovation through working groups and associations like Europur and FEAD.
Expanding Europe’s circular infrastructure
With operational sites in the Netherlands, the UK and France, we are scaling up circular solutions across Europe. New locations are in preparation to meet rising demand from suppliers, manufacturers, and investors.
We aim to build local ecosystems, reducing transport emissions and returning value to the communities that supply the waste.
By bringing our expertise, people and operations together, we make mattress recycling work at scale across Europe.
